AbstractBackground: This study aimed to design and apply a self-care training package for elementary students’ health. According to the purpose of the study, two hypotheses were posed. The first hypothesis states that the self-care training package is effective for the elementary students’ health improvement and the second hypothesis is that the self-care training package is effective in promoting the health components of elementary students.Method: This research was experimental with pretest-posttest and control group design. The statistical population of the study was all elementary students of public schools in Tehran city in the academic year 2019-2020. In this study, the health questionnaire and a researcher-made self-care questionnaire were used to collect the required data. In compiling the training package, the topics were divided into eight dimensions or topics of self-care including physical, nutritional, psychological, social, sleep, virtual, sexual, and health components. Results: The results of the study showed that the self-care training package was effective in promoting primary students’ health.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine adolescent coronary anxiety in the relationship between character strengths and family social support.Method: The research method was correlation and the statistical population including 156 ninth and tenth grade students were selected by non-random sampling method (available) from District 4 of Tehran. Students responded to the Values in Action inventory of strength Scale of Park and Peterson (2006), Perceived Social Support- Family Scale of the Procidano & Heller (1983), and the Corona Disease Anxiety Scale of Alipour, Ghadami, Alipour, and Abdollahzadeh (2020). Results: The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the predicting of corona mental anxiety is significant with the strengths of Judgement, love of learning, Honesty, Zest, kindness, teamwork, forgiveness and family social support. Predicting Corona physical anxiety, creativity, love of learning, Bravery, kindness, social intelligence, teamwork, humility, hope and spirituality are significant. Love for learning, Honesty, forgiveness, humility, hope, spirituality, and family social support are significant in predicting overall corona anxiety (P˂ 0.05).Conclusions: The results showed that character strengths and social support family have an effective role in reducing corona anxiety and can provide the necessary support for adolescents in stressful situations.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of painting therapy in reducing emotional- behavioral problems (internalized problems: anxious - depressed, withdrawn-depressed, somatic complaints, and externalized problems: aggressive behavior and rule-breaking behavior) of Children with cancer. Method: The research design was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest and control group with follow-up. Using targeted sampling, 40children (6 to 12-year-old) with cancer, whose score on the Child Behavior Check List (CBCL) was one standard deviation above average, was selected and randomly divided into two groups of experiment (n = 20) and control (n = 20), but due to the drop in the number of subjects, it decreased to 31 (16 experimental group and 15 control group). The painting program was performed on the experimental group in the form of 8 two-hour sessions. To analyze the data, the mixed variance analysis method was used. Results: The results showed that although the overall score of the internalized and externalized problems was significantly reduced, painting therapy didn’t affect the somatic complaints (of internalized problems) and the rule-breaking behavior (of externalized problems). Conclusions: The results showed that painting therapy can be an effective way to reduce the emotional-behavioral problems of children with cancer. Therefore the findings of this study can have preventive clinical applications.
